Im on the HC leak - can I use this method flash the RUU for US WIFI HC Release or do I need to go back to GB first?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
Back to gingerbread I believe is your only option
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
That's Correct.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cnewsgrp:
What you say does not make sense to me. This thread specifically says this is for official HC upgrade which implies you have to be S-ON and locked.

If you are S-OFF you need to follow Globatron's other thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19607833&postcount=3

Thats what I said: I've made a mistake. ;)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nader1450:
hi

I try this method ... but something is wrong

adb push msc_version /data/local

error : cannot stat msc_version : No such file or directory

your file is misc_version

rename misc_version to msc_version? or ?!

plz help
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Typo in the procedure, fixed now.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] shadow78:
Hi

I followed the instruction and at this point:

adb shell /data/local/misc_version -s 2.00.405.3

I have a message: error opening input file.

I assume it is for the RUU.. where do I need to copy the RUU file to my SD or to the same folder where ADB is?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
That is not the ruu. It is the misc file and all files should not be on your ad unless you are trying to flash the zip through hboot. They should be in your adv folder
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] shadow78:
Thx for your answer. I have the misc file in the ADB folder the sameone I downloaded from the instruction.. any other idea?

Right the whole message is after I enter the command:

Finding misc partition

misc partition found: /dev/block/mmcblk0p28!

backing up misc partition to /data/local/miscBackup-1325954343.bin and determing

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
You failed to get root with tacoroot.

Start again from the last command in step 3.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] shadow78:
I think this would be the problem then after i run this:

C:\Android>adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.bin --root

Rebooting into root.

cannot create /data/local.prop: permission denied
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nader1450:
thanks

i try again ... but:

adb shell /data/local/misc_version -s 2.27.707.1

have error (i don't remember error but something like that): misc only 11 number but this is 10

any way, restart and come htc boot and didn't go to android.

i flash HC ... and go to android ... but adb cannot connect device

error is: devices not found

i try:

adb kill-server

but still problem

plz help me
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Alusi:
Awesome work

Thanks for your help
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
That error means you are using the wrong RUU for your device.

What is the CID of your device?

Globatron

What do you think I have done wrong then?

I would really appreciate your help.

Hi,

Just to clear. This method is good for downgrade an official updated HC device to GB. no S-off and no unlock.

I have a uk 3g version 3.55.405.1 what I updated from the device.. I managed to unlock it before and I tried the other instruction as well but I had an error 140 (bootloader smthng) then I relocked it so bootloader sais relocked..

I have followed all instruction here and I have the same error.

As you see I tried other things as well without luck. What am I doing wrong?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nader1450:

and i install RUU ... but after reboot, just boot logo htc and didn't go to android

what is your idea?!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
From both of you I need the log from c:\ruu_log for the last attempt at running the RUU.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] shadow78:
Here is mine. Thanks to waste your time for these lames.. :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
You are correct, it appears that you failed to get root and therefore misc_version wasn't able the set the version on your device. You need to keep trying with

tacoroot --setup until tacoroot --root works.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] shadow78:
Unfortunately it doesnt work I did try a couple of times but I have the same result. Shorly something blocking the access. I hate HC but looks like I have no other option left.. thx all your support and help.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
You can use the unlock procedure and still downgrade or if you want I'll take a look at it with teamviewer. I can apply the root exploit manually without using tacoroot which should work.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] shadow78:
I did unlock it before and tried the other method but no luck. If you can take a look I would appreciate. Let me know when and how.

Thx
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
just install teamviewer from teamviewer.com and send me the login information in a PM.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] shadow78:
Globatron,

I PM you the details I have a TM version 7.. ready and waiting :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] shadow78:
Hi,

Sorry for my off I couldnt find the info on google how many upgrades are for GB before the official HC upgrade?. I just dont want to upgrade again to HC.

Thx for globatron Im on GB now.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] netb29:
Hi all,

been looking at this thread I have a htc flyer which I brought last month and done the over the air update to HC but no fan of it at all.

Sorry to ask a question that you may have already answered..

with this can I roll back to gingerbread without doing anything else. What I mean is that my flyer is as I brought it and has not been hacked or modified in any way I just want to roll back to GB.

Regards

Zab.

FLASH YOUR RUU

This worked fine for me.

*EDIT: globatron has already mentioned this, but just to confirm, it does not work if you have already unlocked your bootloader through htcdev.com. it does not work if you have obtained CWM recovery through htc unlock. it does not work if you have root through htc unlock. it will only work if you have unmodified stock HC. at least this was my experience.

hello globatron

ok i hold down vol down and power button takes me to a white screen i select fastboot and then fastboot usb is shown highlighted in red, run rru file,

it goes past the verify image state, erases user data and gets to the sending stage where the dots can be seem incrementing to show somethings is happening, on the flyer it shows htc on the screen...

doesnt go any further then that could there be a fault with the image I am trying ? if so how do i try the same rru file as stated in your 1st post

Just want to say I followed these directions to a T and it worked beautifully. No hiccups or issues!

I'm sorry, but I'm sure HC is great for apps designed and built with it in mind, but they messed up something big with the HTC Flyer Wifi devices and moving them to HC. It was awful, it lagged on google, web surfing, everything.

Now back to GB, my HTC Flyer is a super speed machine once again.

Thank you so much!

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ronald2oo2:
Hello Globatron,

The new "tacoroot link does not work for me either. Should we try Mexican restaurants? LOL

BTW

My Flyer P510e is fully standard (S_ON, official HTC OTA HC, HBOOT 1.11.0011) and I want to end up with an S_OFF rooted Flyer

with the HW buttons

and preferably HC.

Can this procedure (when "tacoroot.bin is accuired) also be used to install the Leedroid HC ROM with the HW keys instead of the GB RUU? I am a little worried that maybe I misunderstood procedures and will brick my Flyer in my halfwit atttempt.

Keep up the good work.

I am glad I asked. Thanks for the personalised instructions.

Cheers, Ronald
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ronald2oo2:
Hello Globatron,

First 3 steps went perfect following the instructions in your threads.

But after the leedroid install, the Flyer is now constantly reseting at power-up. I was explained after the fact that the kernel -described to be installed via the CWM- should not have been installed.

I went back to your "easy upgrade" HC ROM (light and big versions) but the power-up resetting remains. Some more details about my attempts you can find in the leedroid thread. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22457636&postcount=1414

I am very sorry for this off-topic backdoor but I have no idea if you're watching that thread and have too much faith in your help to not try to inlist it now my limited insight fails me.

Thank you if you can shine your light on my problem.

Cheers, Ronald

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ronald2oo2:
Hello Globatron,

My Flyer is stable again! I made an automatic hboot recovery with the renamed "PG41IMG-3G-B09.zip" on the SD. The strange thing is that yesterday I tried the same procedure+file already multiple times without solving the resetting. The only difference today was that earlier I tried to install this zip via CWM recovery which failed in a few seconds.

Anyway I am happy and -regarless of missing the hardware buttons- will probably stay on this official HC version for a while.

Thanks for all your great procedure descriptions!

Cheers, Ronald

which ruu version?

i've been through the instructions on post #1 & keep receiving ERROR[132]: SIGNARURE ERROR :/ in the RUU window.

i've tried both of these twice with the same outcome re-trying all steps.

RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_Wifi_1.36.1114.32_Radio_20.3501.30.089BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_191235_signed.exe & RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_2.00.405.3_R_Radio_20.3501.30.089BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_194964_signed.exe sourced from http://tinyurl.com/72uyl2j

i got a HTC__001 on my UK (euro?) 16gb wifi only flyer - i'm guessing i've picked the wrong RUU's but the web/xda searches have failed to point me in the direction of the correct rom - if that is the cause?

i'm on windows7 btw & since getting this far - on boot the flyer ui is now force closing so the 3.21 has lost it's nav panel.

any advice welcome

a factory reset followed by steps 1-9 & the running of the proper 2.27.1114.31 & BINGO!

i'm off to revolution.io now having learn't the value of a factory reset :)

// again ... //

ah, found another 1114 ruu which i'll try ... RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_Wifi_2.27.1114.31_Radio_20.3504.30.089BU_3809.07.04.06_M_release_204727_signed.exe ... 2.27 seems more likely to be the factory OS i unwrapped.

... and that gets the sig 132 error again. ARRGHH!! stuck :( :(

// previously ... //

downed 1.36.1114.32 again, repeated all steps twice. same 132 sig error :(

the RUU dL's dont seem like the problem.

i *may* have used the htcdev unlocker a few days ago - thinking it would give S-OFF & just let me install a workable hboot :rolleyes: could that be a factor? all i managed was to unlock with the htcdev tool & thats as far as that blind alley went.

this method isn't working so i must have done something to undermine it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Well yes, that will casue a problem since this is the method for when you haven't used htc unlock.

However since you gotten this far, just relock your bootloader using:

fastboot oem lock

Then run your RUU
